SUMMARY
In this Russian Language course which consists of several levels, we will 1) overcome our fears of learning Russian language, 2) acquire a basic level of Russian needed to communicate, to be understood, and to understand other people, 3) get familiar with the language so it is no longer a stranger to us. This class continues to cover the fundamentals of Russian language (that we started in Level 1) and provides a solid base for communication. We will practice speaking and understanding, expanding our vocabulary and grammar knowledge. 



WHAT WE WILL LEARN
In Level 1 we tasted what Russian language is like and we learned basic phrases that can be immediately used in everyday situations.

In Level 2 we are learning more vocabulary and what to do with it. Level 2 will include a lot of nouns and useful rules for using them. 

At the end of Level 2, we will be able to 1) say which things we have or don't have, 2) play simple language games using only the Russian words and phrases that we know, 3) learn new vocabulary consisting on nouns and new verbs, 4) practice our reading and comprehension using short stories, 5) and talk about what we eat and drink.


Why this sequence of lessons? 
In traditional study of Russian, a lot of emphasis is put on studying the minute details of each letter and sound, and it takes months for students to progress which leaves them discouraged. 
In this class, a lot of emphasis will be put on the desire of learners to communicate in the target language. They want to say something, to read something, to understand others. We cover the most used vocabulary and grammar in the sequence that is recommended by polyglots who study Russian as a foreign language.
